JKA Maine Karate Academy

JKA Maine Karate Academy JKA Maine Karate Academy is organized to provide the community an affordable opportunity to train in an authentic Shotokan Karate.

We are a fully accredited traditional karate dojo, offering classes for men, women, teens & children of all levels under the supervision of Chief Instructor Sensei & Chairman/Owner Sensei Ferdinand Torres, JKA 4th Dan & Okinawa Kobudo 6th Dan. Our academy instructor and senpai's treat individuals as students, NOT CUSTOMERS! Our objective is to give students a means of developing character while b

eing strengthened both physically & mentally. Training is demanding and promotions are earned, NOT GIVEN! Our students are exposed to the full curriculum of Shotokan karate, and students with advanced rank are introduced to traditional Okinawan kobudo. We are an affiliate member of JKA/American Federation.
